Tomás Cubelli is to start yet again for the Brumbies. The Canberra based Super Rugby franchise will play away to the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein on Saturday in a round five fixture.
Having started all matches this season the Argentine scrum half will earn his fifth consecutive start for the Brumbies. He is joined by a host of leading Australian players in both the backs and forwards.
The Brumbies are to play their second match in South Africa and will be looking to bounce back from losing against the Stormers in Cape Town in round 4. The match was overshadowed by the red carding of Josh Mann Rea while referee Jaco Peyper awarded a try after consultation with the TMO despite Dillyn Leyds clearly having lost control of the ball.
Also on Saturday the Stormers will face Los Jaguares in Buenos Aires.
